Dyer Straits


Nominee for most hilarious campaign brochure ever: Reminding us of the upcoming local selection, we got in the mail a four-page high dollar comic whole lot of saying nothing. About someone, we must assume, who has done nothing to brag about. It's populated by a variously positioned cardboard standup of Buddy, (like Buddha, Beyonce and Jeb) - last name apparently too prophetic for public consumption. Feaux Buddy has been placed before three separate sets of folks and a soccer ball who are trying to ignore this eerily grinning statue. The illusion being floated is it's a real person being a man of the people traveling to different neighborhoods. Note location of soccer ball behind nattily attired black couple puzzling over what they're confronted with. Clearly the soccer ball prop was a good look only for the Hispanic-white couple. The ball also tells us that, instead of visiting different neighborhoods, where people might have their own ball, they just stood the standup in one place and arrayed the living models.

Thus our fearless leader. But anyway, don't forget. A vote for Buddy is a vote for Dyer.
